[SOLVED] Cannot mount squashed filesystem after upgrade
I keep a number of squashed filesystems that I always mounted with
mount Example.sqsh /mnt/squash/example/After neglecting my system for a while, I ran a -Syu, restarted and now I'm met with
mount Example.sqsh /mnt/squash/example/
mount: /mnt/squash/example mount failed: Operation not permitted.I tried adding arguments such as -t squashfs and -o loop, but I receive the same result.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot mount squashed filesystem after upgrade
Do you attempt to mount as regular user? Does it work as root? Did you change your fstab?

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot mount squashed filesystem after upgrade
You say you restarted, but are you sure your boot partition was mounted during the upgrade? That is the error you would get if your running kernel did not match the installed kernel. Please post the output of the following:
uname -a
pacman -Q linux"UNIX is simple and coherent..." - Dennis Ritchie, "GNU's Not UNIX" - Richard Stallman

That's honestly pretty embarrassing. I could have sworn I restarted, but apparently I forgot. That solved it, thanks!
